The work will widen and reconstruct the four-lane bridge with 10-foot sidewalks. The project’s six, arch spans across the Trinity River will enhance the architectural redevelopment that has begun near the bridge.

The work is scheduled to be finished in 2013.

“We take pride in being selected by TxDot to work on this project and are eager to improve the West Seventh Street Bridge for the Fort Worth community, the 7th Street Business Association and the nearby business owners,” said John Carlson, Texas District manager and senior vice president.
